Operating the Chronograph
The chronograph function allows for precise measurement of elapsed time.
- Start: Press the top pusher (A) to start the chronograph. The chronograph second hand will begin to move.
- Stop: Press the top pusher (A) again to stop the chronograph. The elapsed time will be indicated by the chronograph hands.
- Reset: With the chronograph stopped, press the bottom pusher (B) to reset all chronograph hands to zero.
- Split Time (if applicable): Refer to the full Timex chronograph manual for advanced functions if your model supports split time measurement.

Maintenance and Care
Cleaning Your Watch:
Regular cleaning helps maintain the appearance of your watch. Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the case and bracelet. For metal bracelets, a soft brush can be used to remove dirt from crevices. Ensure the crown is pushed in before cleaning to maintain water resistance.
Battery Replacement:
This watch uses 1 Lithium Metal battery (included). When the watch stops running, it indicates the battery needs replacement. Battery replacement should be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance. Attempting to replace the battery yourself may void the warranty and compromise the watch's water resistance.
Water Resistance Guidelines:
Your watch is water resistant to 30 meters (100 feet). This means it is suitable for splashes, rain, or brief immersion in water. It is not suitable for swimming, diving, or bathing. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in to maintain water resistance. Avoid operating the pushers or crown while the watch is wet or submerged.
Troubleshooting
- Watch Not Running: Check if the crown is fully pushed in. If the watch still does not run, the battery may need replacement.
- Indiglo Not Working: Ensure the crown is pressed firmly. If it still does not illuminate, the battery may be low or depleted.
- Chronograph Hands Not Resetting to Zero: If the chronograph hands do not return to the 12 o'clock position after reset, consult a qualified watch technician for adjustment.
- Moisture Under Crystal: If moisture appears under the crystal, immediately take the watch to a qualified service center. This indicates a breach in water resistance.
